What is this antenna / cutout everyone is talking about? Will this fit US TMo version? What are the issues with Korean version?

I'm not sure about the antenna cutout but the case fits perfectly with proper cutouts in all the right places. Don't know anything about the Korean version, sorry.

The US version supports T-Mobile 1700/2100 Mhz AWS frequencies, which have been used in the past for T-Mobile all across the US. Currently, T-Mobile is shifting much of the 3G HSPA traffic to 1900 Mhz, which was previously used for 2G. This shift frees up the 1700/2100 bands for 4G LTE use. Google "t mobile frequency refarming" to find details. To get the best T-Mobile coverage across the USA, buy the US version of the phone. If you will use the phone in mostly a major metropolitan area with refarmed frequencies (like the SF Bay area), the Global GSM version works just fine and does get high speed 3G (HSPDA+) on T-Mobile, AND has better compatibility in places like Europe. If you never expect to use the phone outside the USA, get the US GSM version. I bought a Global GSM Moto G for a friend recently, and it works great in the SF Bay Area, and it worked great on a trip to Europe she took.The US GSM version does not support the 900 Mhz HSDPA band, which is widely used outside the USA. Amazon's comment about the Global GSM phone supporting T-Mobile on 2G only is not really accurate, although would apply if you did not live in an area with refarmed frequencies.

I got mine unlocked, it still has T-Mobile logo though. Mine worked smoothly on a non TMO sim without any unlock code. Just double check with the seller and he should tell exactly if you will get already unlocked or he will send an unlock code. Good luck and good choice, u wont regret this buy.

This antenna is not made for VHF-LO so it will brobably be sub-par, where are you?, I think there is no more transmission in that band neither in the US or Canada. Not sur about Mexico though...

I didn't have any kind of problems. I suggest you check the installation again, step by step. If you still has the problem then get longer screws or return the antenna for exchange.

I normally goto tvfool.com and use actual address, and it will tell me what channels to expect, with different types of antenna, either indoor or roof or ... It's prediction is very accurate. I will try different location with mohu, and have the tv re-scan and "re-save" the frequency every time. Took 1 hour to find the sweet spot, but well worth it.

Do you think you are smarter than the Asian engineers that designed this aircraft? lol I uncoiled mine thinking that straightening it out would help with range, but only made it worse. I kind of remember something about a "coil" antenna from my electronics training years ago. Your best bet is to just leave it alone and upgrade to a better aircraft when ready.

The one that Calido Guitars sent me seems to be for only the Chinese market, the menu is in Chinese with no way to change it to English and it's already configured for China Unicom 3GNet service with no way to change it. Tried my T-Mobile SIM and it only works in 2G. This item is rubbish, don't buy it!

Hi not the one I got, i recd a refund when I complained, one of the antenna's was so loose it would not stand up and every time I touched it I got black stuff on my hands not sure what that was, the seller said he only used it once but it sure looked like more than once, however you may have a better experience than I but I must say I was promptly refunded no questions asked great seller to try, I ended up getting an RCA which works much better with my digital converter thought you do have to get up and re adjust it depending on the chan, weather where you live

p_r, I've posted on the "Conned" thread regarding your purchase...Yep, a return is in order. Btw, I've got mine (Japan) early October for $348 + shipping...the lowest price I've seen that time.Could the recent S5 price drops the past month or so has to do with the onslaught of "Chinese" issue S5s'? (Yipes!)

Well, I hate to be a bearer of bad news, like me, I believed you purchased a knockoff from China. The firmware is substandard and the box is crap. I suggest you try getting a refund and this time purchase a box made by Matricom, which a USA company and will have a small g on the front. I purchased a box from them last week, hooked it up and it is working great, so far. Good luck getting a refund, I was unsuccessful, the company changed it's name.

I am currently in Korea and it did not work. I tried it in two different hotels in two different cities and it didn't work. I bought this specifically for use in Korea and am very dissapointed.

It is odd. That antenna falls outside the Amateur bands for the 220 MHZ part of the spectrum. You'll find in operation the radio works fine on 2 meters, but not well at all on 220. There's nothing wrong with the radio. Just get yourself a replacement antenna. In fact get yourself a tri-band antenna. I know someone who did and it has worked just fine. This is a case of Baofeng not giving you a good stock antenna again. Try a Jet Stream or Comet antenna. Good luck!!!

L. Stanley,Can you help me out? I know nothing about all of this cell phone technology - I just need to buy my boyfriend a present and think this is a great gift. He's on T-mobile, so which version of the phone should I get him that will work here in the US? I don't know if it makes a difference but he's from Australia so the phone also needs to work there when he goes back.Thanks alot!

Hello Alexander, I leave abroad (South America) and is really important for me to be sure that this model i9000-T, that is sold by Amazon, get the band 850MHz for 3G, because the cell phone operator in my country just works under this frequency.I´m sorry if I´m a little persistent in order to be sure, but you understand that this is a sell of $439.So, are you really sure that it works with this band?Thanks for your time and patient.Juan.
